We are still in lesson fifty five of our free Arabic language course. This Arabic course with images and audios will help you learn Arabic.

The noun in Arabic is divided according to the number into three categories: 1-The singular (المُفْرَد /al mufrad): which indicates one unit of the countable noun e.g.: (طَالِبٌ، مُعَلِّمٌ، كِتَابٌ، شَجَرِةٌ). All these words indicate the singular. 2-The dual (الْمُثَنَّى /al muthannā/): which indicates two masculine or feminine units of the same kind of the singular noun, e.g.: (طَالِبانِ، مُعَلِّمانِ، كِتَابانِ، شَجِرِتانِ) 3-The plural: which indicates more than two units of the singular noun, this will be studied In-Shā'-Allâh in the following lesson. Please take a look at the examples below:

You may notice that we can change the dual form back to singular by simply removing the final (ان /ān) from its ending.

We will see from the examples below that in the feminine form we also have to change the tā’ marbuŧah (if it is present) to a normal tā’ prior to adding the dual ending. We will first review the examples of masculine dual form:

Below, we can see that we form the feminine dual by adding the feminine ending (tā') before the dual ending (ان /ān/). If the tā' in the singular is Marbūtah (ـة) it will be changed to normal tā' (ـت) before the dual ending (ان /ān/) let's see these examples of the feminine dual:

This video teaches you how each Arabic letter is written and pronounced along with an illustration of a word using that letter and guides on pronunciation.
